DF General Discussion / Re: The Dwarven Language Codified
« on: August 13, 2019, 01:41:38 am »
Just commenting to say I like this project and I wish it success.

One problem I believe is very important to adress is about the alphabet and the sound system. In my opinion it would be best not to have any letters but those that English has. All phonemes (sounds) should be familiar and simple too. Otherwise the language will be practically impossible to use (to write) for most people.

DF General Discussion / Re: What turns you off about DF?

It is the slowing frame rate that is my biggest demotivator for not playing DF. I would like to build sprawling cities, even with reasonably low population, but the number of building blocks needed will kill the frame rate sooner than later. :(

You can build an aboveground fortress out of unfired clay. That way there is no need to mine out huge areas of rock.

DF Suggestions / Default tileset to square
« on: February 12, 2016, 01:57:38 pm »
I would suggest setting the default tileset to square asci, as most people including me, I think, do not use what is now the default tileset but prefer the square one. Graphical tileset lovers already have the option to easily change to their preferred set by means of LNP. Setting default tiles to square would save everyone time and effort, especially those of us who have trouble with changing the settings themselves. I believe, that square tileset would be less off-putting for newcomers, too.

I would like to see the game offer difficulty managing the social aspects of the fortress instead of just throwing more enemies at the player.

I like to have distinct separation of miltary dwarves and civilians.

Some people say that force-reading mind was a new trick, but I recall Vader saying to Luke something about Luke's feelings having betrayed to Vader that Leia is Luke's sister.

Life Advice / Re: Preserving 139-year-old book.

I have about 50 books from early to late 1800s, but they are mostly spiritual literature. No one will ever read them, but it would feel wrong to recycle them, thus I have them in boxes in a closet.

I need to run about 20 km a week to stay sane.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: I just atom smashed 30 children
« on: December 30, 2015, 05:56:35 pm »
One time I dropped that many children enough levels down to be able to collect their stuff. Didn't turn out a great idea afterwards, as the parents become mad.

Bim Nethurdim, one of the professional soldiers of Slickdye, murdered his immediate superior officer then replacing him, thus earning himself a promotion from optio to centurio. Congratulations Bim! ( I use Roman military ranks)

His intention may be to write not in English but in his own language.
